Ponda, June 10
Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant along with Union Minister of State for Power and New and Renewable Energy, Shripad Naik, Social Welfare Minister Subhash Phaldessai, Speaker of Goa Legislative Assembly, Ramesh Tawadkar, and key Cabinet Ministers attended 'Sankalp Se Siddhi' event in Ponda, according to the official statement.
The event commemorated 11 successful years of the Modi Government at the centre.
While addressing the people of Goa at the 'Sankalp Se Siddhi' event, CM Sawant shared a heartfelt tribute to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership and vision. We are not just witnesses to change, we are part of it, the CM said with pride. These are truly Achhe Din, and Modi ji is the reason behind it.
Highlighting Goa's lead, the CM proudly shared, "We are among the first to achieve 80% success in implementing the 13 flagship schemes of Modi ji. Har Ghar Nal Se Jal, Swachh Bharat, Har Ghar Bijli, Har Gram Sadak, Ujjwala, Awas yojna are not just schemes, they are a mission to restore dignity and opportunity to every Indian."
He attributed these remarkable achievements to the Double Engine Sarkar under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
"Goa will be at the forefront of fulfilling Modi ji's dream of Vikshit Bharat @ 2047", the CM concluded.
Earlier on June 8, the Goa Chief Minister held a Janta Darbar in Sankhali, providing a platform for citizens to express their grievances and concerns directly to the government.
This event is part of a regular initiative to foster direct communication between the government and its constituents.
Earlier on June 3, in a major step toward strengthening digital skilling in Goa, Pramod Sawant, Chief Minister of Goa, today inaugurated the Lenovo LEAP Digital Innovation Lab located at the Government College of Arts, Science and Commerce, Sanquelim and officially launched the program's dedicated online skilling platform.
The initiative aims to train 10,000 students across Goa in Artificial Intelligence, Data Analytics, and Full Stack Web Development, with a strong focus on inclusion--targeting at least 40% women participants and reaching 1,000 students with disabilities. The Digital Innovation Lab will serve as a central space for hands-on, experiential learning.

Great to see Goa leading in implementation of central schemes! The digital skilling initiative is particularly impressive - we need more such programs across India to prepare our youth for future jobs. Kudos to CM Sawant for walking the talk. 🇮🇳
While the achievements are commendable, I hope the government also focuses on preserving Goa's unique culture and environment. Development shouldn't come at the cost of what makes Goa special. The balance between progress and preservation is crucial.
The Lenovo LEAP lab is a game-changer! As someone from the IT sector, I can say digital skills are the need of the hour. The 40% women participation target is especially praiseworthy. More states should replicate this model. ðŸ‘
Janta Darbar is a good initiative but hope it's not just for show. Many such programs start well but lose steam. The real test is whether common people's problems get solved permanently. Still, better than no platform at all!
As a Goan, I've seen real improvements in infrastructure and basic amenities. The Har Ghar Nal scheme has changed lives in rural areas. But please don't forget about employment generation - that's what young Goans really need!
The focus on inclusion (women and differently-abled students) in the digital program warms my heart! This is the kind of development that truly builds the nation. Hope they maintain quality while scaling up to 10,000 students. #InclusiveIndia
